FINANCIAL REVIEW
 海爾電器集團有限公司 27
Liquidity And Financial Resources (Cont’d)
The Group has maintained a healthy financial and liquidity position
with a current ratio of 130% as at 31 December 2009 (2008: 123%).
As at 31 December 2009, the Group had a cash and cash equivalents
balance of RMB1,295 million (2008: RMB613 million); bank and other
borrowings amounted to approximately RMB74 million (2008: RMB143
million) of which none (2008: RMB25 million) was due within one year
and approximately RMB74 million (2008: RMB118 million) was due
over one year.
Due to our focus on cashflow management, the Group has been able
to maintain a very strong cash position with a net cash balance (cash
balance less borrowings) of RMB1,221 million as at 31 December 2009.
Our sufficient balance of liquidity ensures that we will have a financial
flexibility when the market recovers and investment opportunities
arise.
The Group’s borrowing requirements are not subject to any material
seasonal effect.
The Group had capital commitments amounting to RMB21 million as at
31 December 2009 (2008: RMB30 million), all being contracted capital
commitments, which were mainly related to the purchase of fixed assets
for the expansion in production capacity of the Group’s businesses.
